June 29th is the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, the two patron saints of Rome. The most unique festivity takes place outside the Vatican: starting in St. Peter's Square. Beginning the day before and working through the night, volunteers, from all over Italy, scatter bright petals, salt and coloured sawdust building a spectacular carpet of flowers that leads down Via della Conciliazione and towards the River Tiber. The Infiorata, it's a tradition started by a master florist in the 17th century. Rome, Italy
